Abstract

The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel locoregional block where local anesthetic is injected between the erector spinae muscle and the underlying transverse process. Due to the novelty of this technique, only few reports of ESPB in the pediatric population currently exist. We report three pediatric patients who successfully received a (continuous) ESPblock for peri- and postoperative pain during thoracoscopy and -tomy. The block itself is easy to learn and has fewer complications than a thoracal epidural catheter. A randomized controlled trial is needed to verify our findings.
